* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A pure Cabernet aged in 100% new French oak with soft tannins, rich textures and inviting aromas of herbs, flowers and mushrooms. Worth checking out if you’re interested in what Temecula Valley can do.

Estate grown in Temecula, this is a huge Syrah at 15.5% alcohol with all that implies—lots of deep, dark plum, heavyweight tannins and bittersweet chocolate. Might it mellow? Only time will tell.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A structured proprietary red blend from Temecula Valley. The tannins remain a tad chewy, leathery even, though the wine’s got some hints of fig, cherry and cinnamon that keep it interesting.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A big burly Syrah from this Temecula producer whose goal it is to become the premier winery of Southern California, the wine is loaded with plummy black fruit and a peppery mouthfeel, its oakiness derived from the almost three years it spent barrel-aging in new French oak. Not for the meek at 15.6% alcohol, it finishes a tad sweet.
